AISSMS IOIT B.Tech FAQs
Ques. Which B.Tech branches at AISSMS IOIT have the lowest MHT-CET cutoff?
Ans. Instrumentation Engineering and Electrical Engineering consistently carry the lowest cutoff, often in the 41 to 67 percentile range, because far fewer students opt for these branches. Students with moderate percentile scores can still secure an AICTE-approved, SPPU-autonomous college in Pune without paying management quota fees. Instrumentation graduates find demand in manufacturing, oil and gas, and automation, while Electrical graduates can target power utilities and the EV sector.
Ques. How does the CAP option-entry process work for AISSMS IOIT?
Ans. During CAP Round 2 option entry, open from 07 to 09 August 2026, you submit your preference list on mahacet.org ranking colleges and branches in order. Seat allotment on 12 August 2026 is based on your MHT-CET percentile, your preferences, and available seats. If you already hold a Round 1 seat and use Accept and Upward, your current seat is held as backup. You lose it only if a better allotment comes through in a later round before the 13 September 2026 deadline.
Ques. Does AISSMS IOIT offer lateral entry B.Tech for diploma holders?
Ans. Yes. Diploma holders with a minimum of 45% aggregate in a relevant engineering discipline can apply for direct second-year B.Tech admission through the Maharashtra Lateral Entry process via mahacet.org. Lateral entry students complete the degree in three years and join the second-year class of their chosen specialisation. The fee and scholarship structure mirrors the regular B.Tech programme.
Ques. What sectors recruit from AISSMS IOIT and what roles do graduates typically get?
Ans. Computer Engineering and IT branches attract the most campus offers in software development, testing, and analyst roles from TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and Cognizant. Electronics and Telecommunication graduates are placed in embedded systems and hardware roles at companies like Honeywell and Bosch. Electrical and Instrumentation graduates find openings in power sector, automation, and manufacturing at firms like Godrej and Siemens. The median salary across branches was INR 4 LPA as per NIRF 2025.
Ques. Can candidates from outside Maharashtra apply to AISSMS IOIT through CAP?
Ans. Yes. Students from outside Maharashtra fall under the Other State category and are eligible for the 15% of CAP seats not reserved for Maharashtra domicile holders. The effective cutoff for Other State candidates is often lower for less competitive branches since these seats fill after the state quota. Candidates register on mahacet.org and follow the same CAP process. Institute Level Quota admissions may also be available directly at fees set by AISSMS IOIT.
